Given the antics of DumbAss and The Chief Crook, Lula in robbing the country to the point of bankruptcy, is anybody* surprised at what is happening?

I've buried you and all your feeble rhetoric so often I'm going to award you the honorific of the Zombie. When that rather large unrestrained ego of yours gets out of control, remember the equalizer is here to straighten you out. . Remember this little gem that you tried desperately to refute, but failed utterly. It's not your fault you “may simply be dumb”

“Simple viewpoints
Hodson and Busseri's explanation of their findings is reasonable, Nosek said, but it is correlational. That means the researchers didn't conclusively prove that the low intelligence caused the later prejudice. To do that, you'd have to somehow randomly assign otherwise identical people to be smart or dumb, liberal or conservative. Those sorts of studies obviously aren't possible.
The researchers controlled for factors such as education and socioeconomic status, making their case stronger, Nosek said. But there are other possible explanations that fit the data. For example, Nosek said, a study of left-wing liberals with stereotypically naïve views like ”every kid is a genius in his or her own way,“ might find that people who hold these attitudes are also less bright. In other words, it might not be a particular ideology that is linked to stupidity, but extremist views in general.
”My speculation is that it's not as simple as their model presents it,“ Nosek said. ”I think that lower cognitive capacity can lead to multiple simple ways to represent the world, and one of those can be embodied in a right-wing ideology where 'People I don't know are threats' and 'The world is a dangerous place'. ... Another simple way would be to just assume everybody is wonderful.“
You can spot where your ”thoughts” come from!
And where did the above appear: YOUR very own link.
No doubt about it: you just cannot grasp how stupid you are.
8. You're like Voice thinking you won an argument when you're not even talking the same subjects.

Jul 29th, 2015 - 12:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0“the researchers didn't conclusively prove that the low intelligence caused the later prejudice.” Neither has anybody else.
Firstly, you had already previously claimed journalists had no credibility.
“For your information an opinion poll in the UK about what professions are trusted came up with reporters, et al, in the penultimate to bottom place. Only lawyers were held in less esteem.” post 31 http://en.mercopress.com/2015/07/17/brazil-s-corruption-scandals-reach-lula-da-silva-probe-into-influence-peddling
So you're barred from quoting them, as you're “blowing both hot and cold” on an issue “This elementary rule of logic”. en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Legal_counsel
Secondly, the article relies on multiple hearsay, moreover, “someone” is not a credible citation. Thirdly, the writers have no credentials to assess the study, ergo “peer review.” It's not your fault you “may simply be dumb”.
